World’s First Interactive Dive Cave

Discover the World’s first virtual Interactive Dive Cage submerging visitors in a 270-degree continuous view of the ocean. The cave features interactive touch screens allowing guest to experience up close sea animal games and challenges against the crowd favourite dolphins or test your knowledge of how a great white tracks its prey.

The Dive Cave also includes an amazing blue whale encounter that swallows the entire Cage, taking you on a journey through its digestive system. When the whale comes up for air, the Dive Cage is ejected through the blowhole and splashes down into the ocean.
